Re: Yikes smart exchange is not smart

Re: Yikes smart exchange is not smart

Re: Yikes smart exchange is not smart
Thanks for the reply, I think. I didn't put all the info on the order, no I don't need limit price. This was premarket and I do agree that the liquidity was an issue. But the bigger issue was my

Re: Yikes smart exchange is not smart
Why did you use LMT ? (shouldn't you specify a order.lmtPrice ?) What was the instrument you dealt with ? (Liquidity can really be a nightmare) Did you send your LMT during RTH ? Did you look at the

Yikes smart exchange is not smart

How do you send a d-quote order via the API?
From what I understand, you can send a MOC order later than what is otherwised allowed (15:50ET) via a d-quote order. How do you send one via the API? I cannot find it anywhere in the official IB API

Re: Adding timezone to request
I found I get the best results if I move away from the ambiguous three letter codes, like IB recently did, and use one of the following time zone specifications: - UTC, using the format

Re: Adding timezone to request
There appears to be poor consistency in the handling of time zones. For order GTD field, I used both "EST" and "America/New_York"?successfully. For reqExecutions I used the "EST" value for time zone

Re: Re-login failures with TWS auto-restart option.
Hi Dan, Didn't really "solve it". But it "went away" somehow and I didn't pay it any heed. I just re-cycled TWS when it happened. Good Luck. Be Well, Lou Dudka

Yes of course you can still use the old pre-.Net ActiveX implementations. In fact the oldest one I have is from 2003, and that still works too. But the API has moved on a long way since 970. It makes
